Chapter 135 A knock-off of One Piece?
"I won't make you lose money."
Wang Peng made a promise to Du Lei: "Just treat this place like a bank. If you end up losing money, I will return your principal plus interest."
"If you're still not satisfied, in addition to the principal and interest, I'll pay you an extra three hundred yuan a month."
Wang Peng added.
Du Lei was stunned and hurriedly shook his head, "There's no need for that. I only dared to give you this big gift because I trust you."
"Good brother, I'm not saying anything more."
Wang Peng patted him on the shoulder.
That's how it was settled; Du Lei invested four thousand yuan.
As for how many shares to hold, it depends on the total investment in the tobacco and liquor store.
"Brother Lei, do you have a place to stay?"
Wang Peng was worried that he would run away from home, as if he himself had run away from home.
"Have."
Du Lei said, "My dad rented a small courtyard for a few workers, and I live in the courtyard."
Next, everyone began cleaning.
At noon, everyone went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
Li Kefan and Duan Cuilu went home, and Du Lei also returned to his small courtyard.
Wang Peng drove his girlfriend to the furniture market to buy furniture.
After spending the afternoon shopping, I bought a large bed, wardrobe, dining table, and other furniture, and then went to my cousin's house to pick up my own bedding.
"Brother Peng, we finally have our own home."
Li Mingzhu lay on the bed with her arms outstretched.
"We still need a lot of furniture and kitchenware, we'll buy them slowly."
Wang Peng said.
"Brother Peng, I'll take care of all the furniture and kitchenware."
Li Mingzhu opened her bag and took out a pink wallet.
"Six hundred yuan, all the money I earned from selling paintings, is that enough?"
Wang Peng scratched his head. For an artist, it's awesome if their work can be sold.
"Girl, how long did it take you to sell your paintings to save up this six hundred yuan?"
Li Mingzhi stood up, wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's neck, and clung to him.
“I often went to People’s Park to sketch other people’s portraits. It took me about a year to finally save up 600 yuan.”
"I'll have more time in the future, and I'll earn more money."
"Brother, give me a compliment."
Li Mingzhu, seeking praise, continued to transform into a sloth.
"Great job, keep it up!"
Wang Peng gave her a kiss, "Let's talk about your career, tell me your thoughts."
Li Mingzhu had never considered this topic before and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
She thought for a long time and said, "I don't know. You make a plan for me, and I'll listen to you."
Now it was Wang Peng's turn to be dumbfounded.
"How can I plan something for you if I don't understand art?"
"Mingzhu, I'm talking about career planning, what you want to do in the future."
"We'll make preparations in advance based on your career aspirations."
Wang Peng scratched his head. Fine arts majors can do comics and animation.
"After graduation, I will stay at home to be a good wife and mother, and create comics on the side."
Li Mingzhu made up her mind and said, "It's decided then. I will focus on comics from now on."
"also."
Wang Peng immediately had an idea: "Are there any Slam Dunk Masters around?"
"Yes, I have."
Li Mingzhu immediately perked up, "It's one of Takehiko Inoue's masterpieces. I have a set at home. Would you like to see it?"
Wang Peng scratched his head, "One Piece, Naruto, do you have these?"
Li Mingzhu began to think.
After a long pause, she shook her head. "I've never heard of Naruto. It must be a Japanese manga, right?"
"Mingzhu, how much do you know about Japanese comics?" Wang Peng asked.
"I wouldn't say I know too much, but I've read some of the comics that are even remotely famous," Li Mingzhu said.
Wang Peng scratched his head; it seemed that these two comics had not yet been released.
"The world is divided into four seas: east, west, south, and north. The Grand Line is the main route for pirates to pursue the One Piece."
"The protagonist and his companions embark on a seafaring adventure in search of the legendary treasure."
"They went through various challenges and battles, gradually uncovering the secrets and history of the world."
Wang Peng finished recounting the outline of the One Piece story in one breath.
That's all he knows.
"Mingzhu, you can use this main theme to develop your comic."
Wang Peng said.
Li Mingzhu blinked and said, "The story is quite interesting. I've decided, I'll learn about the Age of Exploration first."
"Good job, you can do it!"
Wang Peng laughed, wondering how far he could go with his "girlfriend" version of One Piece.
Since the original version hasn't been serialized yet, let's go ahead and mess with it.
"Brother, let's go buy kitchenware, and I'll buy a few books right away."
Without further ado, the two changed their clothes, went downstairs, and drove away from the neighborhood.
After spending more than two hours fussing over it, I bought a gas stove, cabinets, kitchen knives, pots and pans, and a whole bunch of other things.
Passing by Xinhua Bookstore, Li Mingzhu bought three books about the Age of Exploration.
The two returned to the staff quarters of the light bulb factory.
"Dad, Mom, I'm planning to move to the Warm and Cozy neighborhood."
Li Mingzhu said weakly.
"What do you say?"
"you dare!"
Li Kefan and Duan Cuilu were completely overwhelmed; their daughter, whom they had raised for eighteen years, was about to be lost.
"Xiaopeng, isn't it too early for us to be living together now?"
Li Kefan suppressed his anger.
"Uncle, Mingzhu and I are both adults and should have our own living space."
Wang Peng smiled and said, "Mingzhu is planning to create a comic. I know a little about comics, so I can give her some ideas."
"Dad, there's a really popular manga in Japan called Detective Conan."
"The author became a multi-millionaire this year after starting to serialize the story last year."
"If my comic becomes popular, I wouldn't dare say I'd make tens of millions, but I'd definitely make at least a hundred thousand, right?"
Li Mingzhu laughed and said, "Brother Peng gave me a great idea. I think I can become famous too."
At this point, she immediately began to tell the story of One Piece.
The elderly couple listened in a daze.
"Old Li, I think it's a good idea. Sailing and adventure should be appealing."
Duan Cuilu said.
"Absolutely."
Wang Peng quickly gave her a thumbs up.
History has proven that One Piece is one of the most successful manga series in the world.
Li Kefan looked conflicted.
Logically speaking, we shouldn't interfere too much in our daughter's life, nor should we stifle her creative inspiration.
But as a father, he still couldn't bear to let his daughter fly away with a man right now.
"Uncle, Aunt, why don't you come and stay at my house for a few days?"
Wang Peng said, "Putting everything else aside, the environment in Wenxin Community is much better than here."
The factory's residential compound is old and dilapidated, with hardly any green plants to be seen.
The Wenxin residential area has many lawns and trees, and the environment is much better than here.
"Dad, Mom, why don't you come and stay for a few days?"
Li Mingzhu immediately sat on the sofa, holding her parents' hands on either side. Duan Cuilu was somewhat tempted.
"Old Li, how about we stay for a few days and help the kids set up the furniture and kitchen?"
Li Kefan shook his head.
"You should stay here. There are a lot of thieves around here, and the house can't be left unattended."
The matter was happily decided.
Wang Peng and Li Mingzhu tidied up the bedroom and packed all their painting tools and changes of clothes into the car.
Three days later, Li Kefan couldn't take it anymore.
My wife isn't home, so there's no one to cook or do the laundry; I have to do all the housework myself.
He rode his bicycle to the warm and cozy residential area and picked up his wife directly from the apartment.
